I've had 3-4 failed starts and (thus far) left it at that. They were all with Obj-C/Swift, and my recurring problem was a) the amount one has to learn to make something up to par and b) the disconnect between the text editor and the product taking shape. I'm a writer, to use an example. When I want to start a new article, I come up with the idea, plot it out, do the research and start writing. All points along that line are easy for me. From the start, I'm well aware of the direction it's taking (and thus what the finished product will look like) and within half a day I can already see it taking shape on paper. In my life I've learned foreign langauges but I can't seem to think of computer languages as something similar. It just looks like gibberish, even though I've succeeded in making two simple websites and a two simple apps in my dabbling phase. TL;DR: it's half a learning curve issue and half a disconnect.
